Good day BAF DIS,

I had begun my patrol of the Cambridge system when Admiral Hall, aboard the BAF|HMS-Thunderer, requested I come to him in Omega-3. I arrived, and saw two Nephilim class warships stationed around Aland Shipyard. Their names were FREEDOM_DEFENDER, and FREEDOM_&_LAND. Admiral Hall told them repeatedly that they were not allowed to bring capital ships through, but they insisted they needed them for safeguarding the tradelanes. Then they said the system is not Bretonia's, and said we have no bases there. Rubbish. We have HMS-Gwent and Sprague, as well as some mining operations in the southern part of the system. Hall told them that they had to leave, either back to Omega-5 or to Omega-9, but they just sat there. He repeatedly asked for this, and they refused. He also offered for them to pay a levy fine of 5 million credits, but they refused this.

One of them, FREEDOM_&_LAND, said FREEDOM_DEFENDER and himself were to dock at Aland, and FREEDOM_DEFENDER to bring a gunboat out, since Bretonian Law allows for Zoner gunboats to patrol the system. At this point, FREEDOM_&_LAND began the docking sequence. We had no alternative. Hall fired upon him, as did I. He docked before any major damage could come of it. Then, FREEDOM_DEFENDER docked and a bomber came out, called Gunboat_Kappa. This was FREEDOM_DEFENDER in a bomber. What was odd was that he said it was a gunboat. No matter. He came out, may or may not have accidentally fired a Nova Torpedo at Hall during the scuffle with FREEDOM_&_LAND, and then stopped firing. It was hard to tell if he had actually fired it on purpose, so Hall gave him benefit of the doubt and assumed he didn't mean to fire it. Since the capital ships had vacated the area, and legal ships had now entered, we left back to Cambridge. I do say, these bloody Zoners cause quite a ruckus and a lot of drama these days. Anyhow, I hope you are all well. Tallyho I do say!
